hello it's monday, it's 9 o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire, welcome to the programme we'll bring you the details shortly. the parents of charlie gard are to return to court today. they've been victims of a backlash from some members of the public, they say, after great ormond street hospital revealed staff received death threats. threats have been made against thejudiciary threats. threats have been made against the judiciary and medical staff at great ormond street hospital. under no possible circumstances whatsoever does any member of charlie's family or any of charlie's true supporters condone any such action. we have discovered that new powers to curb dock attacks haven't been working. we'll talk to the family of

a three—year—old girl mauled after five doings broke into her garden. and it's 50 years since gay sex was decriminalised but how much has changed and how close are we to achieving true equality? we demand the same rights. no more, no less. the same rights as other ordinary, civilised human beings. we'll talk to peter tatchell and george montagu, convicted of gross indecency with a man in the 70s and describes himself as the oldest gay in the village and a woman who's only just in the village and a woman who's onlyjust come out, about how much as changed. hello. welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.

throughout the programme the latest breaking news and developing stories...a little later we'll celebrate two amazing british sporting achievements. england's women beat india to the cricket world cup. absolutely amazing. i took my kids there. so many kids there, it was brilliant. a great atmosphere. and we'll be asking why this brit — chris frome, the 4 times tour de france winner — isn't receiving the love he deserves. is he britain's least popular greatest sportsman? do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning — use the hashtag victoria live and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. the parents of charlie gard return to the court today as the court consider new evidence from a us neurologist. they want to take their baby neurologist. they want to take their ba by to neurologist. they want to take their baby to the states for experimental treatment. doctors at great ormond

street don't believe it will work and say the 11—month—old should be allowed to die with dignity. tom burridge is at the high court for us. the court was supposed to sit this morning and it's been pushed back to this afternoon. possibly a decision from tomorrow onwards, that might be pushed back because we are not seeing the court sitting this morning. but i think a lot of the evidence will centre around testimony from this us doctor who claims that his treatment, a kind of therapy, has a10% chance of improving the health of ii—month—old charlie gard. thejudge improving the health of ii—month—old charlie gard. the judge will have to make that very difficult decision in what is a very sad case. the judge will have to decide, remember, whether or not to allow chris and connie, charlie's parents, to allow them to take him to new york for experimental treatment or whether thejudge decides, like

experimental treatment or whether the judge decides, like the doctors at great ormond street have been arguing, that the chances of any success arguing, that the chances of any success from that treatment are so low that actually it's in charlie's best interests for the life support system to be switched off and for him to be allowed the die with dignity. tell us about the threats to the staff and the parents? really sad again. on saturday, great ormond street hospital released a statement saying that their staff, doctors and nurses, suffered a torrent of abuse, thousands of messages online, some verbal abuse in the street. connie and chris, charlie's parents, released a short statement on saturday saying they too suffered a lot of abuse. then they released a longer statement yesterday evening, saying that actually, since the statement from great ormond street on saturday, they've suffered what they described as a backlash. they said they've suffered a lot of abuse, a lot of messages online. but they paid tribute, i think it's

important to say, to the doctors and the staff at great ormond street hospital. they say ultimately their son wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for the staff at great ormond street hospital. both sides, the doctors and parents of young charlie of course have his best interests at heart. but of course the judge over the next couple of days, possibly longer, will have to make that very difficult decision. thank you very much. rachel schofield is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. the government is promising what it calls a revolution in the way electricity is generated, used and stored. the business secretary, greg clark, is to announce more investment in battery technology and details of a competition to boost innovation in energy storage. under the plans, it's thought households could save up to ito—billion pounds by 2050. britain's economic forecast has been downgraded by the monetary fund due

we re being tested in aberdeen. 60 items were brought back for analysis. we are providing information that there isa are providing information that there is a strong indication from this chemical profile that we were able to ascertain, there is a strong indication this was present on the it eames as a result of blood decomposition. south yorkshire police hope this latest development will go some way in proving what happened to this little boy. experts on hutch are joining forces with cancer researchers to look at effo rts with cancer researchers to look at efforts to find a cure for the vie ritz. at the science conference in paris, experts believe —— a cure for

demand doing owners take steps to control their animals' behaviour. more than three quarters of the 311 councils who responded to our freedom of information request have not issued a single notice since they were introduced. the ding the duke of cambridge has revealed how he tells his children stories about his mother, the princess of wales. it's hard because obviously katherine didn't know her so she can not really provide that level of detail so i do regularly, putting charlotte and george to bed, remind them that there were two grand mothers in their lives. just after 9. 30, we'll bring you the

information on the asbos for doings. they are not being used by councils even though they've had the powers in order to try to stop doing attacks. we are going to talk to sandra mckevitt after 9. 30. she's never done an interview before. she was there when her granddaughter was attacked in her front was there when her granddaughter was attacked in herfront garden by five doings who'd broken through the garden fence. so we'll talk more about that after 9. 30. all of you are saying it's the owners‘ responsibility. are saying it‘s the owners‘ responsibility. john on facebook, anthony on facebook, the responsibility of attacks falls within owners and the government for allowing anyone on licence to own potential killing machines. anthony says the main problem lies with the owners, they look to the doings as a status symbol. get in touch on twitter or e—mail us. olly is with us now. i took my boys

to the cricket world cup. india were cruising to that modest 229 that england set and then suddenly india collapsed didn‘t they? england set and then suddenly india collapsed didn't they? yes, india have been absolutely fantastic. they beat england in the group stage before they qualified for the knockout stage. i was working here yesterday victoria, you were very lucky to be there and every telly pretty much was tuned into the cricket, so much going on, but most people were watching the cricket. england‘s women world champions for a fourth time. they‘ll be having a few heavy heads because i think they we re few heavy heads because i think they were celebrating in the lord‘s tv

averner‘s bar afterwards. one of those tournaments that went under the radar, started a month ago, was up the radar, started a month ago, was up against wimbledon. you could strea m up against wimbledon. you could stream some of the matches for free but it wasn‘t on terrestrial tv. it was a sell out at lord‘s. a great global audience. was a sell out at lord‘s. a great globalaudience. england was a sell out at lord‘s. a great global audience. england were fantastic, making 228, india seemed to be cruising to victory but shrub sole there, wow, five in 19 deliveries, turned the match on its head, got the winning wicket as well. england last won it in 2009, shrubsole was the player of the match. pure elation i think. i always think it's better when you're all out there in the field because you have got your team—mates around you have got your team—mates around you and this world cup really has beena team you and this world cup really has been a team effort. people have chipped in along the way, we have fought our way through some games, haven't necessarily won the pretest.

te st haven't necessarily won the pretest. test cricket is all about winning, and not how you do it. look at this tweet from ian shrubsole, a picture of anya in 2001 when she was 11 and "what a place, i would like to play here for england in a world cup final", is what she said. didn‘t she just! that is absolutely brilliant. dreams can come true! chris froome, he wins the tour de france again? ! that is a dream isn‘t it of all his four titles. he says this was the toughest because his rivals were so much better this year. 5a seconds his margin of victory, the narrowest of all his victories. there he is, victory parade up the elysee, a glass or two of bubbly, as is customary. he‘s 32 now, says he‘d

like to carry on competing for another five years. four men have w011 another five years. four men have won five tours, the likes of the great eddie merks, so there is every chance he could join some of the greats, if not surpass them. my word, what an achievement that is, the toughest grand tour of them all. he didn‘t win a single stage either, the seventh man only to wear that yellow jersey without wearing a single stage. but a real team effort from team sky to help froome on his way to the fourth title. we'll talk about why he isn‘t loved more by the british public later. your views welcome. no british winner at the open but a fantastic day at royal birkdale? royal birkdale has now staged ten open championships but no british winner. there was a real battle between matt kuchar and jordan spieth and we wondered how we could

getting gauged with it. jordan spieth led from the first day and we re spieth led from the first day and were three clear overnight but a dramatic final round. he threw away that lead in the first four with bogeys. and then at 13 he unravelled, ending up halfway up the hill. that was unplayable and it got complicated. it took 20 minutes to work out where he could drop the ball. they said the line of sight was in between those two drugs, and they couldn‘t do that. he is in the practice area. he birdied it and matt kuchar went into the lead. but then birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie, finishing on 12 under, three clear of matt kuchar. he is the master is open champion from 2015. but that claret jug, after the way open champion from 2015. but that claretjug, after the way he won after nearly throwing it all away, he says it is his greatest major yet and he is only 23. thank you. amazing. more from olly throughout the morning.

it is 50 years this week since gay sex was decriminalised. in 1967 the law in england and wales changed so that it was no longer a crime for two consenting adult men over 21 to have sex. for some, that date was a watershed moment. for others it wasjust for some, that date was a watershed moment. for others it was just the start. five decades on, how much has changed? do you want sympathy? no! do you want aversion therapy? no! do you want psychiatric aid? no! we must be out and about in pubs, in clubs and in the classroom, talking about homosexuality and in fact, in that sense, promoting homosexuality. stephen, i give you this ring.

as a symbol of my love. chanting. bleep! i‘m now very happy to announce that you are now legally husbands. i never sought to make it a secret. my focus and priority has been on my ministry, on serving god and serving god‘s people, and i do that, as i always have done, as a gay man. how much has changed? this email

suggests not much. i am a 51—year—old gay man and i have had numerous homophobic insults. the last result was in march and my ribs and some were broken in an attack by four security personnel. in my experience homophobia is still a massive problem and the authorities are reluctant to even acknowledge my assaults. someone who has seen attitudes change hugely over the course of his life is 94—year—old george montague, who calls himself the oldest gay in the village. he was convicted in the 1970s for gross indecency. peter tatchell has spent most of his life campaigning on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual community. he describes what happened 50 years

ago as partial decriminalisation. ferhan khan came out to his muslim family when he was 15. that was nearly 20 years ago. and winnie is bisexual. she only came out to her children over the weekend. her parents still don‘t know which is why we‘re only using her first name. welcome to all of you. how are you? fine. look at the smile on your face. i really want to know what has changed over your lifetime in terms of the way people treat gay men. well, i lived a total lie, in the closet, with a wife and three lovely children, and i did a lot of acting andi children, and i did a lot of acting and i was totally accept it as a heterosexual person. nobody in the world except my wife knew i was gay until nine years ago. and when you came out, how did that change your life? when i was brought up, the

hero of my life was lord baden powell. i was a good boy scout and i did everything i should have done. you don‘t tell lies. i realised i was living a lie and i had to do something about it. so i went and had a long chat with my children and my daughter said, daddy, we have known for years! then i took the bull by the horns, and i thought the best thing to do, i was living in brighton at the time, was to go to brighton at the time, was to go to brighton pride, which is one of the best in the country. it is wonderful. all the houses with windows, the windows are full of people waving and shouting and cheering and even the people at the bus stops are cheering. it is wonderful. the best day of my life. and i am looking forward to the next one ina and i am looking forward to the next one in a few weeks. peter, let's talk about 1967 and what did change in practical terms. we talk about

liberalisation but it was not as liberalisation but it was not as liberal as people think. up until 1967, gay and bisexual men could face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. that was ended in 1967 but it was a partial, limited decriminalisation. all the anti—gay laws dating back centuries and they remained in force. they were policed in fact with ever greater aggression, so that in the years after 1967, the number of gay and bisexual men convicted rose by 400%. including george montague, who was convicted in the 1970s for gross indecency. full decriminalisation only happened across the uk four years ago. between 1967 and 2013, at least 15,000 men who were gay or bisexual were convicted for consenting to same—sex behaviour. it's is absolutely shocking and it is appalling it took so long. it

took so long to get full legal equality in terms of the criminal law. i have friends who were arrested and convicted because they we re arrested and convicted because they were under the age of 21, which was the age of consent set in 1967. 18 or19, the age of consent set in 1967. 18 or 19, they were arrested. one of them went to prison for six months, toa them went to prison for six months, to a young offenders institution, for consenting loving same—sex relationship. this was in the late 19705. it relationship. this was in the late 1970s. it seems extraordinary. winnie, hello. thank you for coming on the programme. you came out as bisexual a year ago to friends and family. what has the last year be like for you? it has actually been really amazing, the support from my work colleagues and my friends. some of my family, but not all of my family know about it. i was actually really surprised. i have not had any negative experiences. i recently told my children this weekend. they

are ten and 11. they were absolutely amazing. i really underestimated telling them. they dealt with it really well. they really understood. they sat down and we explained it to them. they still see me as money, i am still the same person and i am that person at work as well. —— they seanie as mummy. i am part of the equality network and mike ochoa has been with me 100% of the way. —— my co—chair. been with me 100% of the way. —— my co-chair. do you wish you had done it sooner? it wasn't the right time. coming out now felt right in itself. and what about your family, the older generations? i just don't think they would understand or accept it. my parents‘ generation would think it is wrong, not right,

not normal, but i am who i am and they can either accept me for who i am 01’ they can either accept me for who i am or not. it is down to them. you come from a muslim pakistani family will. what was their reaction when you came out aged 15? that was nearly 20 years ago. incredulity. they were just incredulous. you are 95v? they were just incredulous. you are gay? what? ithink they were just incredulous. you are gay? what? i think they thought i was too young to understand what i was too young to understand what i was saying. i don't think it impacted them in the way that it has fiow. impacted them in the way that it has now. it has been a journey since then. my sister is understood. they knew that you don't say that unless you are authentically attracted to the same gender. but it was hard finding acceptance and i still haven't found the acceptance that i really feel that i need. from relatives? actually i don't have a

lot of relatives in the uk. i have got some cousins. the rest of my family is in pakistan. i am open on facebook and i have had smatterings of acceptance from them. but here in the community back home in glasgow, i haven‘t found the acceptance. i instinctively know that i am not really massively welcome as an openly gay man. at community events, weddings and things, i am not invited any more. i would say that the option to go back into the community and be part of the community and be part of the community is always there but i need that golden ticket. i need to marry a girl to be back. do your parents still think you are going to marry a woman? there is some pressure to do it. i don‘t think they wanted to do it. i don‘t think they wanted to do it. i don‘t think they wanted to do it. i think they felt pressure from the rest of the community to get a

marriage of convenience. the attitude is that the girl‘s duty is to hide your sexuality for you. protestations that that isn‘t fair on the girl fall on deaf ears. what more needs to be done or is the fight over? we have made fantastic progress. compared to a couple of decades ago, britain is almost a different country. there has not only been a change in the law, but a change attitudes. public attitudes are much more supportive, although you have said, there are still families who don't accept their lgbt kids. there is still homophobic hate crime today. 45% of young lgbt kids are bullied in schools and a lot of schools don't have an anti—bullying programme that specifically addresses that issue. there is big progress but more to be done. i think what we would like to reach is a situation where people's sexuality

doesn't matter and nobody cares. gay, straight, bisexual, trans. we wa nt gay, straight, bisexual, trans. we want to get to a situation where nobody really cares that we accept the person and they love who they wish to love. george, you want an apology for the fact that you were convicted in the 1970s for gross indecency. you can‘t actually get a pardon because it is to do with the fa ct pardon because it is to do with the fact that the offence was in a public toilet. but what you want is an apology. i want an apology to the whole of the gate community for persecution of us for so many years. the police went out of their way to catch us, persecute and prosecute as. i think that is wrong. i didn‘t ask to be gay, i didn‘t choose to be 93v, ask to be gay, i didn‘t choose to be 93)’, | ask to be gay, i didn‘t choose to be gay, i was born that way. therefore,

once or twice i have spoken to children in school, and i say put your hands up if you are left—handed. quite a number do. now, i have got something to tell you. i am homosexual and i didn‘t ask to be. it isjust am homosexual and i didn‘t ask to be. it is just nature. am homosexual and i didn‘t ask to be. it isjust nature. i am homosexual and i didn‘t ask to be. it is just nature. i would think in my opinion 5% or 10% of men are born that way. how is the campaign to getan born that way. how is the campaign to get an apology going? only a couple of days ago, new south wales and new zealand, it was on the radio, they‘ve asked for a law, totally apologising for their whole communities for their law against homosexuality. that‘s what i want in this country. who do you want to apologise? the government. the prime minister? the whole of the house of

commons. a unanimous debate and a unanimous apology to the whole of the gay community for the law of gross indecency should never have been brought into being, it should never have been brought in. do you ee, never have been brought in. do you agree, peter? yes. we need a formal apology from the prime minister herself. she's the leader of the nation and she needs to make that formal apology, as do chief constables, like cressida dick, head of the metropolitan police. she needs to say, on behalf of the police, that they are sorry and apologise for the historic persecution of gay people. i think that would be a very important way of drawing a line under the historic persecution that so many gay people faced. if you talk about the last 100 years, about 100,000 gay and bisexual men were convicted for behaviour that in most cases wouldn't have been a crime if their

partner had been a woman. that's shocking. many of the men went to prison. some of them were attacked and beaten by neighbours. some were ostracised and rejected by families, they are now alcoholics, some had severe they are now alcoholics, some had severe mental illnesses, some committed suicide. it's a shocking tale of stories. jennifer says there is still so much to do to achieve true equality but brilliant that you are discussing the experience of hgbt people. tim says what a struggle to get this far and attitudes still have to change. sean says, we had over 30 gay insults outside our house in 2012. the perpetrator was known to us and the police. i apprehended the individual. i had to ask the police to arrest him. the police were not interested and the cps said there

wasn‘t enough evidence. can you imaginea time wasn‘t enough evidence. can you imagine a time when everybody treats everybody equally, when there were no homophobic insults or attacks? cani no homophobic insults or attacks? can i imagine a time? not really actually. just from knowing how attitudes prevail, i suppose as humans, we tend to group people up and the majority tend to kind of hold sway over minorities that will deviate from the norm. it's it‘s about educating people actually. you have changed your mind, you couldn‘t see it now you can. what about you, winnie, how old are you, do you mind me asking? 35. do you imagine an era in your lifetime when there is equality, no

insults, people treat you fairly and equally? i really hope there could bea equally? i really hope there could be a time like that. at the moment, hearing everybody's be a time like that. at the moment, hearing eve rybody's experiences, be a time like that. at the moment, hearing everybody's experiences, it does seem quite far away but i think with a lot of support, education, especially pride this year in london was especially pride this year in london was absolutely amazing, the turnout was was absolutely amazing, the turnout was amazing and friends supporting colleagues and that, there could be a time but at the moment there is a long way ahead. an e-mail from someone long way ahead. an e-mail from someone who doesn‘t wish us to use their name. i‘m a minister in a church and i‘m totally unable to come out as gay. the church has not fully accepted gay relationships and at least one that i lead would be very much against me being gate. it's very much against me being gate. it‘s a difficult situation but as i still want to serve god and carry on working in this capacity because i‘m

93v working in this capacity because i‘m gay doesn‘t change anything. i hope that this will make a difference. what would you say to that? george? 0h, what would you say to that? george? oh, dear. oh, dear, idon‘t what would you say to that? george? oh, dear. oh, dear, i don‘t know. what would you say, peter?” oh, dear. oh, dear, i don‘t know. what would you say, peter? i can understand his predicament entirely. it's only if we all come out that homophobia will be challenged and vanquished. so find supportive friends. we need people in all religions to challenge the homophobia that exists there to stand up against it and explain the case that love and compassion should triumph over prejudice and hate. does that include people in the public eye who‘re not yet out? absolutely. when i was growing up in the 605 there were no openly gay public figures at all. in the 705, they were stereotypical

public figures at all. in the 70s, they were stereotypical versions mostly of gay men and hardly any lesbians. we now have lots of people out in public life but there are certain parts of life where it's still very unacknowledged. so in faith communities, there really is still a big issue about lgbt people and our acceptance and, all the major religions are supposedly about love and compassion so therefore surely they should accept their members and theirfaith surely they should accept their members and their faith leaders who're lesbian, gay or bisexual. it'5 who're lesbian, gay or bisexual. it's a part of life, you know. every society and culture throughout history, there'll be lgbt people, it'sjust part of a spectrum of human sexuality and we should just get used to it and accept it.|j agree. thank you very much for coming on the programme, george, lovely to see you, thank you peter, winnie as well. get in touch with us, you

winnie as well. get in touch with us, you can winnie as well. get in touch with us, you can e—mail us anonymously. still to come: new powers are not being used by the authorities despite a rise in hospital admissions. in a moment we speak to the family of a small girl who was mauled after five doings broke into her garden. we meet love island‘s fa ns her garden. we meet love island‘s fans and critics. here is rachel in the newsroom. the parents of charlie gard return to the high court today with thejudge set gard return to the high court today with the judge set to consider new evidence from a us neurologist. his pa rents evidence from a us neurologist. his pa re nts wa nt evidence from a us neurologist. his parents want to take their terminally ill baby to america for experimental treatment but doctors ormond street believe it wen‘t work, and saythe should be allowed to with dignity. the government‘s die with dignity. the government‘s promising what it calls a revolution in the way electricity is generated, used and stored. the business secretary greg clark is to announce

more investment in battery technology and details of a competition to boost innovation in energy storage. under the plans, households could save up to £40 billion by 2015, it‘s thought. britain‘s economic growth forecast has been downgraded by the international monetary fund following a weaker than expected performance at the start of the year. back in april it was predicted the economy would grow by 2%. that figure has now been revised down to 1.796. figure has now been revised down to 1.7%. the treasury says the report highlights the importance of a good brx it deal with the eu. the duke of cambridge has revealed how he tells his children stories about their grandmother diana diana princess of wales. that is a summary of the latest news. more at ten. and olly is back with the sport.

these are the headlines: england‘s woman have wound their fourth cricket up with, they beat india in a thrilling finale. anya shrubsole was the star. chris froome said this was the star. chris froome said this was his toughest win of the tour de france. he said he‘d like to carry on competing for another five years. jordan spieth let slip a led at the open but won brilliantly, finished clear of matt kuchar. rory mcilroy wasjoint fourth. clear of matt kuchar. rory mcilroy was joint fourth. england are almost certain of a quarter—final place at the women‘s european championship in holland after a 2—0 win against spain. jodie taylor scored her fourth goal of the tournament. qualification is out of scotland‘s hands as they lost 2—0 to portugal. more sport later. powers brought in to curb doing

attacks are not being used to protect people from dangerous doings. asbos for doings were brought in three years ago, giving the police and local authorities more powers to demand irresponsible doing owners take steps to control their animals‘ behaviour and prevent afabbings. the notices are usually issued to deal with minor things like when a doing has been aggressive. they order the responsible person to stop doing something like letting the doing into a children‘s play area or making sure their pet is muzzled. figures have revealed they are not being used regularly. more than three quarters of the 311 councils who responded to our freedom of information request have not issued a single one of the notices since they were introduced. here with us sandra mckevitt whose niece was attacked in her front sandra mckevitt whose niece was attacked in herfront garden by five

doings. this is the first time she is speaking about the attack since it happened in may. also two other guests. some of you may find the photos we are going to show upsetting. how surprised are you trevor to find that the notices are still not being used?|j trevor to find that the notices are still not being used? i suppose it's relatively early days, it‘s still a disappointment. the intention is that it should provide for early inter—general election to nip the problem in the bud before it gets out of hand. if it‘s not used, we are missing out on that opportunity. why are they not being used?m are missing out on that opportunity. why are they not being used? it may be that the victims just don‘t know that they should be complaining about it. it may be councils don‘t have the resources to deal with it. there could be some kind of confusion between police and council

or lack of knowledge from the enforcers themselves. is it the council‘s responsibility to issue the notices? could be the council or the notices? could be the council or the police. sandra, thank you for coming on the programme. you had the most horrific experience earlier this year with your niece, ella. tell our audience a little bit about what happened ? tell our audience a little bit about what happened? we were in the back garden having a picnic with ella, corey and isla and they were starting to play a little game of tag. then corey and isla were near the back door and me and ella were further up the garden. we heard a loud bang on the six foot fence. the doing‘s head broke through. i immediately thought, this isn‘t going to end well, get the kids out of the way. so i asked isla and corey to go into the kitchen and stay there until ijoined them with ella. so i told them not tolike at the doings, not to run, take their

time, go slowly. and then while i was telling them to do that, i got hold of elle what‘s hand and by this time they‘d all come through and they were circling us. how many doings? there was five of them. american bulldogs? yes. american bully doings. i grabbed hold of ella by the hand to lift her up and one of them had actually sunk his teeth into her shoulder and into her leg and then it was just absolute chaos. i was fighting, punching, kicking the doings trying to get them off her. my neighbour was shouting over his side of the fence, saying try and throw her over. theyjust wouldn‘t leave her alone. a neighbour at the back eventually jumped over the fence and distracted them and i saw my chance then to escape with ella and we got through

to the front of the house where people were trying to help us. a medic came first, he thought it was just a doing bite. he was horrified by what he found. i learnt later on that he was actually off with stress because he didn‘t realise how horrific her injuries were. what kind of injuries did she sustain? they basically just tore kind of injuries did she sustain? they basicallyjust tore her face. her cheek. you could see her bone, the skull. one of them got her by the skull. one of them got her by the mouth and severed all the nerves. they tore at her skull. she was bitten all over on the legs, the back, the arms and the blood was everywhere. the ambulance came. they realised they needed to get her to alder hey quickly. so the air

ambulance landed nearby and they flew her, her heart stopped. she stopped breathing. when she got to alder hey, she had to endure an eight—hour operation while the fabulous surgeons there basically had to sew her face back on. tell us how she is now. she is a fighter. she teaches us. they told us fighter. she teaches us. they told us that she would not be able to do anything nowadays and within hours she was sitting up and trying to boss us about. she is totally confused. the other two kids were terrified of dogs before. this has just confirmed their fears. if we go out anywhere, it takes hours of coaxing. will there be dogs? where i work, they very generously got a

lovely garden set of swings for us, and she wants them indoors. the psychological effects of it. i have nightmares that i have gone blind and she is shouting for me to help her and and she is shouting for me to help herandi and she is shouting for me to help her and i can‘t see her. she wakes up her and i can‘t see her. she wakes up herself screaming get the dogs off me. the others are the same. you had complained about the dogs and he talked about the fact that they were aggressive and there was the stink of dog mess the whole time. aggressive and there was the stink of dog mess the whole timelj aggressive and there was the stink of dog mess the whole time. i was getting evidence together myself. we basically couldn‘t go out in the back garden. i had spoken to my neighbour. he is not a bad person. you can talk to him. i will never forget the look on his face when he realised what the dogs had done. he was absolutely distraught. what

happened to the dogs and the owner? the dogs were taken away and destroyed. the puppies were given to charity. the dog owner is now in prison. let me read some messages from people listening to you talk about this. colleen says i have a band breed pit bull type dog. it has an amazing temperament and it loves children. i believe it is how you treat the dog which determines the way it behaves. john has texted and said he owns a pit bull. i don‘t think the dangerous dogs act works. as an owner of a dangerous dog, in inverted commas, which he has had since eight weeks old, it is the most placid dog you could ever meet. the issue is at the other end of the lead. the dog is a reflection of you. tyler says i feel that dog breeds that are known to be violent

should be banned. how people with these breed can get away with it, i don‘t know. what is your take on this and the fact that dogbos are not being used ? this and the fact that dogbos are not being used? i can think of nothing worse than this event. children playing in their own garden should of course be safe. we accept that the dangerous dogs act is not working but there is a reluctance to change because the last thing we wa nt change because the last thing we want to see is further attacks. we did hope that these new notices would help things. we wanted it to act as an early warning system. in these circumstances, what we have got to remember is that there has beena got to remember is that there has been a change in the law to make on private property and offence. that is what is happening in this case. but we want to see things that prevent these attacks from occurring rather than acting after the event. it is all very well prosecuting and destroying the dog. we need prevention. we hoped the new notices

would give the opportunity for people to act as an early warning system, to alert the local authorities, and it is very disappointing that they are not being used. the kennel club ran an event for local authorities earlier this year to highlight these issues. it seems that all too often they wa nt it seems that all too often they want to bring in blanket notices to protect certain areas rather than targeting individuals. ithink something needs to change. so it is a wasted opportunity in a way?” think it is. it is early days and i think it is. it is early days and i think the local authorities need to look at themselves and say what more can we do to protect communities? thank you very much for talking to us. thank you very much for talking to us. we appreciate it. and all the best to the children. it‘s been the surprise hit of the summer. stormzy‘s a fan. so are liam gallagher and ex—england cricket captain michael vaughan. evenjeremy corbyn has named his favourite contestant. it‘s marcel, in case you wondered. the dating show love island comes to a climax this evening. for those who haven‘t followed every

coupling and break up and, full disclosure, that includes me, the idea is simple. put a group of impeccably—groomed, attractive young men and women into a mallorcan villa, encourage them to get into couples and watch what happens. the most popular couple at the end of the eight weeks wins £50,000 and we find out who that is tonight. here‘s a taster of the series and some of its top tweeted moments. at number four, they say honesty is the best policy unless you want people to like you, and theo really doesn‘t seem to mind either way. i think if tyler really liked him, she should go as well really. theo, be quiet, seriously! bleep. no! i‘m just saying, if she really cared... 0h, theo, shut up. bleep. no, no, no... bleep. i‘ve nothing againstjohnny. theo, theo, listen. there's a time and a place, and it's not the right

time, bro, all right? bye! love you! at number three, liv wishes stormzy would just shut up and chris contemplates his future rap career. he‘s got 99 problems and liv is... well, all of them. you‘re too good for her, mate. i thought that was 100% kim. at two, just when olivia thought she was safe, we threw a spanner in the works. actually, we threw in a pair of spanners, it was the return of sam and mike. oh, my god, ifeelsick. screaming. what? really? oh, my god, it's so good to see you! absolutely speechless for the first time in my life. at number one, it was a busy old night on twitter whenjohnny ditched queen camilla of the villa and went in for the kill with tyler. you‘re very important to me

and i would never bleep want to see you upset. i don‘t want to see you upset in a million years. there is no relevance of how i feel right now, to what you should then be pursuing with tyler. i want to stay like this for a week. what a smooth operator. precisely 7.3 seconds after mugging off camilla, he‘s away to pda with his new squeeze. kady mcdermott came third on last year‘s show. jeremy lumb can‘t stop watching the programme after his girlfriend introduced him to the show. sam taylor, who‘s the editor of britain‘s oldest women‘s magazine, thinks love island sets a bad example. and emma kelly is deputy entertainment editor at metro.co.uk. welcome. you met scott on the last series. are you still together? yes,

we live together and we even have a little dog. it is serious. what was it like starting a relationship on television? is very weird, i'm not going to live. it isn‘t your average, is it? but one to tell their grandchildren. why do you love it? i don't know. at first my girlfriend was watching it and i was watching it with their resentfully, that i got into it and i realised i enjoyed having something mindless to watch in the is evening and talking to everybody about it. i am on so many whatsapp groups talking about it. not everybody is watching it! it is getting 2.2 million and it is more popular than the first series. why? it was a slow burner. it came after celebrity love island and last year it started to get more momentum and people were talking about it and this year it is an event television, which we don't really have other

than strictly come dancing and the x factor. everybody likes talking about what everybody is watching at work the next day. it is a communal event to watch. you invest in the people. definitely. and you are not a fan? i can't say that i am a fan. it isa a fan? i can't say that i am a fan. it is a mystery to me. it is the lowest common denominator. no disrespect because i am sure it was full of lovely people. but where do we go from here? we have basically got couplesjust we go from here? we have basically got couples just picking we go from here? we have basically got couplesjust picking each other based on sex. that is it. sorry, it isn‘t just based on based on sex. that is it. sorry, it isn‘tjust based on sex. this year, gabby adcock cell are in love, you can tell, and they haven‘t had sex. —— gabby and marcel. ifound my soul mate on there and we are going to marry. sex is a big part of a relationship that it is notjust

about sex. no, but the highest traffic on social media and the young people i work with, the primary driver seems to be whether or not somebody is going to be getting off with somebody or not. there is a language around that. getting off with somebody or not. there is a language around thatm that a bad thing? i think it is a confusing thing particularly for young girls watching that. is this really the most important thing about me? walking around in a bikini, as long, bursting a balloon with my bottom. i don't think that is true. my friends that watch it, at least, we watch and it is the latest when somebody had sex, or they are swapping couples, that people are actually watching for the human relationships as well. they invest in the couples and people wa nt to invest in the couples and people want to see them commit and work after the show. people can relate to it. that is why it is so big. it is

about couples finding out about each other and falling in love. who doesn't want to watch couples falling in love ? doesn't want to watch couples falling in love? yes, you argue and you have sex, but that is part of a relationship. i think everyone's favourite couple this year is probably the bromance with chris, nonsexual. that is tribute to the 50th anniversary that changed the world for the better! of course. i am sure peter tatchell would tell us. it is also the trials. the ping—pong trial. us. it is also the trials. the ping-pong trial. but you do them on hen dos. you do them on nights out with your friends. do you? yes, i think young people relate to these things. you get your bare bottom out and you burst balloon? the girls get their bottoms out because they want to. it is ready to wear thong bikinis and if you have a nice bottom, why not? so girls go to hen

dos and squash balloons?” bottom, why not? so girls go to hen dos and squash balloons? i went on a hen do in a beat that we didn‘t do exactly that but we did fun game that it was the best thing ever.” don't think it is demeaning for lots of these people. they know what they are getting into, they are having fun, they are living in a villa. they are in their 20s and who can say they have been an love island?” don't think i said it is demeaning. it isa don't think i said it is demeaning. it is a confusing message for younger women. a lot of the terms, we know that they are printed on primark t—shirts. like you are 100% on paper. what i can't understand is they are in front of them, so they are not on paper. if somebody asked you what is your type and use their tall, dark and handsome, that is your type on paper. but they are in front of them? but talking to your friends, you say they are my type on paper. if i like dark hair, i say he

is my type on paper. so what would be the next level after love island? where do we go culturally from there? does it have to go anywhere culturally? can it just there? does it have to go anywhere culturally? can itjust be entertaining escapism?” culturally? can itjust be entertaining escapism? i think so. people have found love and i am an example. it is a dating show. blind date, souped up. for the summer. we already have these shows. naked attractions. that is something else. we already have these shows and i don‘t think love island is as salacious as people are making it out to be. it is based on people finding love. yes, they have sex, but couples have sex. and nice people win in the end, broadly speaking? i like to think that scott

andl speaking? i like to think that scott and i are nice! i didn't mean that! and the couple that came second, they are engaged. they are head over heels for each other. the couple that came first are unfortunately not together any more but they are expecting a baby. it can happen. the final is tonight. three of you will be watching. will you watch the final? i feel compelled to! you will be watching! ok! thank you for coming in. coming up: four out of five nhs trusts are not giving women smear five nhs trusts are not giving women smear test results within the two week deadline and we will find out why. all the latest news and sport ina why. all the latest news and sport in a moment but first the weather with carol. good morning. weather is mixed fortunes today. in a west, sunshine, but in the east, cloud. look at these beautiful pictures. blue skies in cornwall. another lovely one from the wirral. this is cambridgeshire, where we

have got more cloud. you can see nicely in the satellite picture that west is best in terms of sunshine. in central and eastern areas this morning, more cloud. that is producing drizzly outbreaks of rain. through the day, this weather front responsible for that will push in the direction of the north sea. it should start to brighten up under the ridge of high pressure across the ridge of high pressure across the midlands for example. east anglia could see some sunshine through the course of the afternoon as well. if you are anywhere down this north sea coastline, it will feel quite chilly. we have that onshore wind. it is accents rating the coalfield. if you are in the cloud or rain, you will feel that. -- it cloud or rain, you will feel that. —— it accentuates the cold feeling. at scotla nd —— it accentuates the cold feeling. at scotland is nicer, with glasgow reaching 26. cloud breaking up in lothian and the borders towards

northumberland. north west england hanging onto sunshine. where we have the influence of the weather front, there is more cloud, especially in eastern areas with the rain. east anglia has got brighter skies and the midlands has got brain is coming through. we are back into the sunshine as we drift into south—west england. 23 in cardiff and plymouth and for most of wales it will be dry and for most of wales it will be dry and sunny. into the evening and overnight, if anything we start to lose the showers. the winds ease down a touch and we get clear skies and isolated pockets of fog, nothing too dramatic. under clear skies across the highlands, temperatures willdip across the highlands, temperatures will dip down lower than you can see in the charts, down into single figures. tomorrow we start with sunshine where we have had clear skies by night and there will be some cloud around but through the day, it will turn over and we will see sunny day, it will turn over and we will see sunny intervals develop in. drier down the east coast and not as cold as today. we have cloud coming

down across cornwall, the isles of scilly, courtesy of this low pressure, and on wednesday it will rattle quickly from west to east. if you look at the squeeze on the isobars, it will also be quite windy. a blustery, wet day. when she sta rts windy. a blustery, wet day. when she starts off dry in the east, but it will not take long for the rain to rattle through. —— wednesday starts off dry in the east. it will eventually clear for some. behind it, bright skies, sunshine and showers. that is how we are going to end the week, sunshine and showers. this week is fairly changeable with the wettest day on wednesday. and rather cool if you are stuck under the cloud and the rain. and thursday and friday and into the weekend, sunshine and showers. hello it‘s monday, it‘s 10 o‘clock, i‘m victoria derbyshire. our top story today; the judge considering whether to allow doctors to turn off the life support for terminally ill baby charlie gard

the high court today. the government is promising what it calls a revolution in the way electricity is generated, used and stored. the business secretary, greg clark, is to announce more investment in battery technology and details of a competition to boost innovation in energy storage. under the plans, it‘s thought households could save up to £40 billion by 2050. britain‘s economic growth forecast has been downgraded by the international monetary fund — following a weaker than expected performance at the start of the year. britain‘s economic growth forecast has been downgraded by the international monetary fund —

following a weaker than expected performance at the start of the year. in april, it was predicted the economy would grow by two per cent but that figure has now been revised down to 1.7%. the treasury says the report highlights the importance of a good brexit deal with the eu. at least 24 people have been killed and more than 40 injured in a suicide bomb attack in the afghan capital, kabul. it‘s understood the attacker detonated the car bomb close to a bus carrying government employees in the west of the city. it‘s not yet clear who was behind the attack. scientists say they‘re examining a potential breakthrough in the case of the missing sheffield toddler, ben needham — who disappeared on the greek island of kos, 26 years ago today. human material has been found in soil samples gathered last year by british police. figures obtained by this programme show that powers brought in to curb dog attacks are not being used by the authorities.

community protection notices, also known as dogbos or asbos for dogs were brought in 3 years ago. they give police and local authorities more powers to demand dog owners take steps to control their animals‘ behaviour. more than three quarters of the 311 councils who responded to our freedom of information request have not issued a single notice since they were introduced. the duke of cambridge has revealed how he tells his children stories about their grandmother, diana princess of wales. as they approach the 20th anniversary of their mother‘s death, princes william and harry have been giving an insight into how they try to keep her memory alive. it's it‘s hard because obviously katherine didn‘t know her so she can not really provide that level of detail so i do regularly, putting george and charlotte to bed, talk about her and try to remind them that there are two grandmothers, there were two grandmothers in their lives. that‘s a summary of the latest bbc

news, more at 10.30. we‘ll show you more of that documentary later, it‘s on itv tonight. richard on gay sex says partly decriminalised, not decriminalised. nothing‘s changed. even though decriminalised, the long, slow grind of having parry‘s had profound effects on me —— parity. my hope is that people growing up now are given a chance to live a life without knowing what it‘s like to be on the outside looking in. matt says i came outside looking in. matt says i came out when i was 16, i‘m 32 and my pa rents out when i was 16, i‘m 32 and my parents kicked me out, then they offered me therapy. the therapist asked me to leave and said there‘s nothing wrong with you, it‘s your

pa rents nothing wrong with you, it‘s your parents that need therapy. ever since then, my parents slowly changed their view and are now very supportive. kevin says i came out in 1999, my family disowned me. they finally accepted me in 2005. i still get verbal abuse. only six weeks ago i returned from a night out in london at gaye, we were abused and spat at on the night bus. my partner andi spat at on the night bus. my partner and i were upset. the work is not over. richard says, i came out 25 yea rs over. richard says, i came out 25 years ago, the change over those yea rs has years ago, the change over those years has been amazingly positive, however there is still a really long way to go. get in touch with us. if you are texting, you will be charged. olly is back with the sport! england‘s women have won the cricket world cup for a fourth time. it was a thrilling final against india at lord‘s. england batted first. they set a fairly modest 229 for india to chase. they looked like

achieving that with a classy knock of 86 from their opener. they collapsed, lost the last seven with 28 runs. anya shrubsole was the star of the show. pure elation i think. i a lwa ys of the show. pure elation i think. i always think it‘s better winning when you‘re all out there in the field because you have your team—mates around you. this world cup‘s really been a team effort. people have chipped in, we have fought our way through. haven‘t necessarily won the prettiest at times. tournament cricket is all about winning, not necessarily about how you win, it‘s all about getting over the line. chris froome says he‘d like to take part in the tour de france for another five years. he‘s second on the list of all—time victories. it was the traditional

victory parade yesterday. it was his third triumph in a row, he did it without winning a single stage. his winning margin of 54 seconds was the narrowest. he says this tour was the ha rd est narrowest. he says this tour was the hardest because his rivals were so much better this year. incredible feeling to ride on to the elysee even after having done it three times previously. it doesn‘t diminish at all. it‘s still all the same emotions here. i mean, it‘s incredible. pollutely incredible. -- absolutely incredible. jordan spieth had a roller coaster of a day yesterday. he went walk about on the 13th, sliced his drive, spent 20 minutes finding the ball which was unplayable and working out where to drop it with the help of the officials. he finally took his shot from the mid offal the practise area. three birdies, an eagle saw

spieth claiming the claretjug by three shots. his first open triumph. he‘s 23, he‘s also won the masters and the us open. jack nicklaus is the only other player to have won three major titles at that age. some football for you, england look almost certain of a quarter—final spots at the european championship in the netherlands. they beat spain 2-0 in the netherlands. they beat spain 2—0 and were helped by a change of heart by the referee. ellen white handled the ball in the box. the ref awarded spain a penalty but changed her mind with clarification from england‘s players that it had been accidental. after that let—off, england‘sjodie accidental. after that let—off, england‘s jodie taylor doubled their lead, so 2—0 to england. they‘re top of the group. scotland‘s hopes of reaching the quarters is out of their hands. they‘re bottom of the group after losing 6—0 to england in the first match. they lost 2—1 to

portugal last night. erin cuthbert equalised but they fell behind shortly after. the scots will need a big win and they‘ll be hoping england beat portugal. the athletics paras came to an end last night. they won four on the final morning yesterday, including a gold for sammy kinghorn who added the 100 metres title to her 200 metres gold. she didn‘t finish on the podium in the 800. the british team won eight more medals at the championships than they managed in doha two years ago. so the paras going from strength—to—strength. headlines later. thank you very much. nearly three years ago, so—called islamic state fighters swept through northern iraq where the countries oldest ethnic minority were living, the yazidis. they expelled thousand of them from their homes in the sinjar region. many of the men were shot, while the women and children

were kidnapped, taken as hostage and raped in some cases raped every day for months. the german government has stepped in to help by re—settling many of the women who have managed to escape captivity. we‘ve been given exclusive access to a small group of them who are living in a secret location, in a psychiatric hospital in the middle of germany. it‘s the first time many of the women have spoken publicly about their experience. our reporter fiona lamdin has spent a couple of days with them as they attempted to re—build their lives. as you‘d expect with this story some of the details in their story are upsetting and graphic and you may not want young children to watch. our report lasts about 11 minutes. 17 yazidis are living on this corridor in the middle of a psychiatric hospital in germany. it‘s a long way from their home in northern iraq, but at least they‘re safe here. three years ago, on 3rd august 2014, they were attacked by is fighters.

many of the men were shot, and the women and children were captured. this girl was 14 at the time. she and her family tried to escape up the mountain, mount sinjar, but they couldn‘t run fast enough. she was then kidnapped, torn apart from her mother, and locked in a prison. she told me she saw things that will always haunt her. things which i found very difficult to listen to.

we‘re not allowed to show you where the girls are living. it‘s for their own safety. many of their families are still in captivity. but not far from here, those 17 yazidis are integrating into german society. many of them are even going to school here as they start the journey to rebuild their lives. so we focus on certain emotions like love, peace and joy, to forget fear, anxiety and other negative emotions. and here to help them, a team of mentors from across the world. my joy is complete. her nephew amin was only seven when is fighters took his father and mother. he hasn‘t seen his parents for three years. but in the last month his mother has been spotted in a camp in iraq after escaping. during today‘s meditation, he imagines that all his people are released and he sees himself

reunited, celebrating with his mother. it‘s thought his father was killed by is fighters, the same who kidnapped his aunt and kept her a sex slave for six months. i'm telling them i want them to write down their dreams and goals. after all these girls have been through, it will take years of specialist counselling. today‘s art therapy session is just a start. we can‘t show you this 13—year—old girl. it‘s for her own protection. she doesn‘t know if her parents are still alive. she too was captured by is, and now only communicates by drawing and signing. jacqueline, tell me the difference you have seen in the girls

over the last few months. it‘s incredible, going from tears, sadness, no eye contact... leading this team is jacqueline isaac, an american lawyer, who spends much of her time advocating for women across the middle east. she was working in iraq, taking aid to those yazidis who escaped from is by fleeing to mount sinjar — a mountain close to their villages, where many were left stranded for months. i met a mother and she was telling me how her daughter was in captivity. she didn‘t know what happened to her. she said, can you help? you‘re a lawyer, can‘t you help? make your government go out there and get our girls, make your government do something. i didn‘t know what to do. just days later, in one of the villages below the mountain, ekhlas managed to escape while her abuser was out fighting.

she was taken to a refugee camp and a few days later she metjacqueline. this footage was filmed just days after her escape. when i first met her, her head was down. all of their heads were down. there was no eye contact in the beginning. it was a porch, they were all sitting. what do i say to them? there were counsellors we had brought, they were sitting on the right—hand side, on stand—by to give the girls counselling. i remember thinking, this is not the time for counselling yet. this is just the time for recognising them as human beings.

the song she is looking for, is a song talking about what happened to her family and her people. three months later, ekhlas moved again. she‘s just one of thousands of yazidis resettled by the german government. singing. they go to mainstream school with the rest of the town every day. but their education doesn‘t solely take place in german classrooms. good job. sam, iam. back where they live in the hospital, as well as music therapy, they are also being taught english by jacqueline‘s team. that‘s sam i am. 0k. despite living 6000 miles apart, jacqueline is dedicated to these girls, visiting them every few months.

butterflies! but even when she isn‘t with them, she talks to them online every week, and to other girls still in iraq. when you look at all the recruits, isis recruits coming from all over the world, how did they get into iraq and syria? it all started with the internet. they were recruited online. what if we could reverse what was used as negative? what if we could use the same tool to transform the lives of the next generation in iraq and syria? then we open up a centre in iraq where over 40 girls are learning english through skype, through the internet, by teachers who have volunteered their time. every day the story was, "this is what has happened to me, this is what has happened to my people. we just want them to return." that‘s it. their life was just that story.

but now they are overcoming their story of the past, and creating a story to define their own future. she sings. ekhlas now knows her voice matters. just last year she addressed our parliament. the result of her story — the house of commons unanimously declared yazidis victims of an isis genocide. she now wants to become a lawyer here in germany. would you like to go back to iraq to live there? these girls are now starting to live again, but they are living with deep, deep scars. these messages from you. harrowing

ordeal. i hope this young woman can get the help she needs to overcome the trauma. the uk should take these girls from refugee camps and do the same as germany. that report was from fiona landen. the bbc has learned that 80% of nhs areas are failing to meet the government‘s two week target for women to receive their smear test results. there‘s currently a backlog caused by future changes to the way cervical screening is carried out. laboratories say they‘re struggling to retain staff who will no longer be required when automated screening starts in 2019. let‘s talk to lou armer who waited for seven weeks to receive the result of her smear test. and robert music is the chief executive of jo‘s cervical cancer trust charity. welcome to you both. good morning. tell us what it is like waiting for seven weeks to get your results. tell us what it is like waiting for seven weeks to get your resultsm is horrendous. it is so hard not to get anxious with any test. but the

longer it goes on, the more your head ties itself in knots and you start imagining all kinds of things. not very nice. it is notjust impacting on you either, but your family as well, isn‘t it? impacting on you either, but your family as well, isn't it? of course the more stressed you are, the more it affects everybody around you. i just worried about it quietly really, and i was waiting for seven weeks and at the end of the seventh week, i got a letter inviting me to go for a smear test when i had just had one. it was at that point when i got in touch with my surgery to find out what was happening. fortunately i got the result that day but they had only arrived at the surgery that day. i was really stressed and anxious. why this backlog? cervical screening, the first thing that we must say is that this is an important and powerful test and it prevents 75% of cervical cancers and

we are very prevents 75% of cervical cancers and we are very lucky to have the programme. the programme is going through some changes. in 2019 it will change. cervical cancer is caused by the humour papilloma virus in 95% of all cases. and in 2019 they will change the way they look at smear tests. instead of looking at smear tests. instead of looking at the cells in a laboratory, they will look at the human papilloma virus dna. that will identify women who are high risk earlier, and it does mean that there will be a reduction in terms of the numbers of people needed to be working in the laboratories. it seems to me that this is the problem. it is because the programme is changing into people are, leaving the laboratories now and there is a backlog, which is very now and there is a backlog, which is very concerning. now and there is a backlog, which is very concerning. what difference could a backlog make when it means that people like lou are not getting the results in two weeks but are

waiting for seven weeks? anxiety and stress, but hopefully in terms of long—term concerns there are not too many. some people might fall through the net and get a delayed diagnosis. if people have a bad experience around the programme, they may not come back. we are at a place where cervical screening is at a 19 year low and we are worried about the numbers of people attending. why is that? you get letters every few yea rs that? you get letters every few years reminding you. but it is up to you to make the appointment. there are many barriers. we are dependent on the different age groups, different ethnicities. sometimes it is simply access ability. if you are put off by a bad experience, you might not come back. it is very important that we turn around and reduce this backlog. and it is two yea rs reduce this backlog. and it is two years until the programme is introduced, so it could get worse,

which is a worry. and when you got the results after seven weeks, what we re the results after seven weeks, what were you told, lou? i was really lucky. it hadn‘t brought up anything. it was a huge relief. but if it had not been good news, i would have been thrown into another roller—coaster. but i was lucky that it was a good result. that is good to hear. thank you, lou and robert. nhs england say they are working to reduce the backlog. they closely monitor the turnaround times were cervical screening against a very high process measure. that means that 90% of women screened should receive their results within two weeks. cervical screening saves an estimated 5000 lives a year so it is vital that women take up the opportunity to be tested. the police watchdog is investigating the arrest of a young black man who died. we‘ll bring you the details. and, chris froome, britain‘s chris froome, has won his fourth tour de

france. we‘ll have a lack at his achievements, what it took to get there and ask why isn‘t he more loved by the great british public? the latest news headlines with rachel now. the parents of charlie gard are set to return to the high court. theth they want to take their baby court. theth they want to take their ba by to court. theth they want to take their baby to the us for experimental treatment. doctors at great ormond street hospital believe it won‘t work and say the 11—month—old should be able to die with dignity. the government is promising what it calls a revolution in the way electricity is generated, used and stored. the business secretary, greg clark, is to announce more investment in battery technology and details of a competition to boost innovation in energy storage. under the plans, it‘s thought households could save up to £40 billion by 2050.

britain‘s economic growth forecast has been downgraded by the international monetary fund — following a weaker than expected performance at the start of the year. in april, it was predicted the economy would grow by two per cent but that figure has now been revised down to 1.7%. the treasury says the report highlights the importance of a good brexit deal with the eu. at least 24 people have been killed and more than 40 injured in a suicide bomb attack in the afghan capital, kabul. it‘s understood the attacker detonated the car bomb close to a bus carrying government employees in the west of the city. it‘s not yet clear who was behind the attack. the ipcc is investigating the death

ofa the ipcc is investigating the death of a 20—year—old black man chased into a shop and restrained by officers in east london. there‘s been an outcry since security camera footage of the incident was shared on social media. reacting to what she saw, pauline, described as the hackney heroin after the london riots, she knew the young man in that footage and says, he was no angel, he was well liked and helped lots of young people in the community. that boy should be alive today, sitting in a cell somewhere being able to tell his side of the story. but instead he‘s laying on a morgue waiting for an

autopsy and waiting to be buried. and we‘ve got to pick up the pieces, the community‘s got to pick up the pieces. former metropolitan police superintendent lee row logan told me the cctv footage raises some important questions —— leroy logan. i saw the footage and obviously it‘s showing an officer restraining a person believed to be a suspect and, of course, force was being used around the person‘s upper body. of course, we now know that that person has passed away. when it comes to restraining a suspect, presumably proportionality is the key, is it? absolutely. whenever any action that an officer has to take has to take

into account a person‘s human rights and that must be clear in an officer‘s mind and he or she must know that their action has to be proportionate, it has to be legal and it has to be necessary. these are the tests that have to be looked at by the investigating officers in the independent police complaints commission. of course, if it goes further, in terms of the crown prosecution service, or even further to the courts. as you well know, there is often no time when it comes to an arresting officer to assess the risks. that‘s presumably when the risks. that‘s presumably when the training kicks in. you make a judgment, a decision and your training kicks in from there? yes.

officers are trained, they‘re professionals, so they should have it clearly in their minds whenever theyin it clearly in their minds whenever they in any form of encounter with a person, whether it‘s a suspect or otherwise, they have to do their dynamic risk assessment. it‘s obviously, bearing in mind a safety to the public, safety to themselves and obviously safety of the suspect, and obviously safety of the suspect, and that‘s inherent of the job. they have to take these very critical areas into consideration, especially when it comes to a volatile situation, you know. unfortunately, society, the courts, dictate that officers have to be professional in a volatile situation as they are in a volatile situation as they are in a reasonable and slow—moving situation. how significant could it

be that the met say the suspect was taken ill after trying be that the met say the suspect was ta ken ill after trying to be that the met say the suspect was taken ill after trying to swallow an object? well, it's obviously a consideration but however, you ever to lack at it in the cold light of day and the legal test is, was the officer‘s actions reasonable in trying to remove something out of the person‘s mouth, if that‘s what they were trying to do? fanned that in any way —— if that contributed to that person, you know, being traumatised in some way, that has to be taken into consideration. those are the things that, yes, it may be seen as a cause for some are the things that, yes, it may be seen as a cause for some form of defence, but ultimately, it will be looked at under legal tests of

whether it‘s proportionate and whether it‘s proportionate and whether it‘s proportionate and whether it‘s necessary. whether it‘s proportionate and whether it's necessary. former metropolitan police superintendent leroy logan. britain‘s chris froome has won the tour de france for the fourth time in five years. this is what he said after winning. incredible feeling to ride on to the elysee, even after having done it three times previously, it doesn‘t diminish it at all. it‘s still all the same emotions are here. it‘s just incredible. absolutely incredible. that is astonishing, winning it takes more mental and physical preparation probably than any other event. this tour in particular probably one of the most ferocious. three weeks, cyclists race 2,000 miles up some of the most difficult hills imaginable. so why doesn‘t chris froome get the recognition he deserves, why doesn‘t he get the love he deserves from the

british public. let‘s talk to one of the country‘s leading cyclists. we‘ll also hear from the country‘s leading cyclists. we‘ll also hearfrom michael hutchinson on his way back from paris. david you say chris froome is one of the greatest sportsmen of all—time, explain why you believe that? he's won the tour de france four times and you could easily argue that the tour de france is the single greatest sporting event, certainly the most gruelling. for anybody to win that four times is pretty astonishing an achievement. you don‘t have roads to train on, you don‘t have proper bikes. this is a guy who learnt to cycle. he was a very middle class white kid living in they roby, he learns to sickle. he goes and lives in a township and survives —— in nairobi and learns to

cycle. you never expect he can end up cycle. you never expect he can end up at the tour de france and win the race four times. in my view, he‘s won it clean and i think he‘s doing an incredible amount to try to restore cycli ng‘s lost an incredible amount to try to restore cycling‘s lost trust. i‘m not sure that he‘s succeeded, but he‘s certainly, you know, made his contribution to a very difficult situation. why don't the british public love him more?” situation. why don't the british public love him more? i think a lot of people who understand cycling and sport, who understand people do love him. there‘s plenty of people who don‘t understand him. i mean, i read this morning he wasn‘t on the list for bbc sports personality of the year, sorry it makes a mockery of that. he wasn't on it. the knighthoods that bradley wiggins and dave bra ilsford

knighthoods that bradley wiggins and dave brailsford receives, nothing more deserving than a case of chris froome for a knighthood. he was born in kenya, he felt he was british but he‘s never lived here, which is true, but it would have been a much more romantic story had chris embraced his kind of kenyan roots and said, i‘m kenyan, but he didn‘t feel kenyan and couldn‘t fake it. and said, i‘m kenyan, but he didn‘t feel kenyan and couldn't fake itm that one of the reasons he doesn‘t live here or play the celebrity game, you know, you are not going to see him having selfies with paul weller, for example, or what about tea m weller, for example, or what about team sky‘s difficulties with bradley wiggins and the therapeutic use exemptions and thejiffy bag? wiggins and the therapeutic use exemptions and the jiffy bag? yes, that definitely has seriously impacted on team sky with their credibility. it‘s impacted on bradley and dave. the rider most critical of what went on at team sky at that time was chris froome. he‘s never supported dave brailsford on this, he‘s been almost hostile

towards what happened at that time and that‘s much to his credit. but the public really, i mean, it‘s called sports personality of the yearfor called sports personality of the year for a called sports personality of the yearfor a reason, called sports personality of the year for a reason, people called sports personality of the yearfor a reason, people latch called sports personality of the year for a reason, people latch on to who they see as personalities. the person they love may not be the person who is loved inside the locker room. chris froome is adored by the people who write for him. a polish guy wrote this year about him, he‘sa polish guy wrote this year about him, he‘s a young guy, he‘s a real star of the sport, he completely devoted himself to chris froome and imean devoted himself to chris froome and i mean i‘ve been covering the france for over 30 years and i would reckon he was the single greatest of keeping his performance of one man subverting all of his own ambition to help his leader. he literally torode a stand still, he was on a climb —— literally on a rode to a

stand still. he couldn‘t turn the pedals any more. he literally had to stop, put his foot down and try to start again and froome inspires that kind of loyalty. and team ethic. yes. thank you, david, very interesting, thank you. let me bring in michael hutchinson. what is it about team sky, what do they have that other teams don‘t, apart from chris froome? ! team sky have the highest budget probably of any sports team and they know how to spend it. they‘re very ruthless and focussed. they analyse the course this year in huge detail, they computer model parts of the courses to discover the best way to ride it. they brought a traditional sport that thrived on flare and panache, they‘ve modernised that. some people like that a lot better than others. they‘ve got money and know how to spend it so they spend it wisely. on what sort of things, michael? they spend it on wind tunnel testing.

they work on bikes, they‘ve got the best coaches, the best expertise and it‘s the margin of things. dave b ra ilsfo rd it‘s the margin of things. dave brailsford when he was in charge of tea m brailsford when he was in charge of team gb, it‘s that brought along to the road cycling. what mental strength does it take to win the tour de france on several occasions? it's tour de france on several occasions? it‘s extraordinary. the tour de france, ok, obviously i‘m biassed, i cannot think of another event that is quite as physically relentless and gruelling as three weeks of racing five to six hours a day every day and the mental pressure on someone day and the mental pressure on someone like chris froome. he doesn‘t get a day off. there are flat stages that are physically easierfor him, but he flat stages that are physically easier for him, but he always has to be in the right place, concentrating, never to be caught out. he‘s in a position now where

he‘s more likely to les a tour de france than to win it and you lose it by making a small, silly mistake. thank you very much, michael. some comments from you. brenda says i always look forward to the tour de france and i watch it excitedly but the drug revelations of the past spoiled it for me. i didn‘t watch this tour and i didn‘t feel elation hearing about chris froome‘s win. and this one, what is the obsession the bbc has about chris froome not being loved? thank you for those. scientists say they‘re examining a potential breakthrough in the case of the missing sheffield toddler, ben needham, who disappeared on the greek island of kos 26 years ago today. human material has been found in soil samples gathered last year by british police. then was 21 months old when he disappeared and his mother had spent

the last two and a half decades searching for her son. we can speak to her now. good morning. thank you very much for talking to us. i wonder how you respond to the fact that signs of blood have been found on part of a sandal and on soil inside a toy car recovered by the police searching for your son? inside a toy car recovered by the police searching for your 50mm inside a toy car recovered by the police searching for your son? it is devastating, obviously. we believed what the police told us last year. they didn‘t have any hard evidence, it was just information they collected from people on kos and people coming forward. but obviously the samples were traced. they have found what they found and thatjust

confirms it for us. i am finding it quite hard to hear you but we are going to persist, if that is all right with you. that's fine. i will try and speak louder but it is very emotional today so it is difficult to talk. i understand and i am very grateful that you are speaking to us. the detective inspector in charge of the investigation, john cousins, says it is still his professional belief that ben died in an accident at that farmhouse. what do you think? i think so. we have worked very closely with john and the team over the last few years. i couldn‘t wish for better detectives to have taken on this case and helped. i100% believe whatjohn believes. when the information that

has been released to the public today comes out, what effect does that have on you? devastating, devastating. because now we know not only was there an accident at the time, we now know that ben was taken from the farmhouse and buried somewhere at the second site and then possibly taken from that site and put elsewhere. it is horrific to think that somebody could do that to a small child. it is devastating.” am really sorry. i can't understand how any human being could do such a thing. it is horrific, absolutely horrific. i wonder if you could give

our audience a little insight into the impact on you of spending all this time trying to find out what happened to your little boy. this time trying to find out what happened to your little boym this time trying to find out what happened to your little boy. it has made me a very strong and independent person but it has also torn mine and my family‘s lives apart. we will never be able to live like a normal family. apart. we will never be able to live like a normalfamily. the apart. we will never be able to live like a normal family. the search for ben has always come first. throughout the last 26 years. traumatic. you live your life on a roller—coaster constantly, traumatic. you live your life on a roller—coaster co nsta ntly, u p traumatic. you live your life on a roller—coaster constantly, up and down, up and down, trying to deal with emotions, depression, anxiety, torment, anger, frustration, everything, week after week, month after month, year after year. it is

totally soul destroying. for these people to have watched this all these years as well. these people have seen myself and my family on tv begging and pleading for information and they kept it secret 26 years. i don‘t know how anybody could do that toafamily don‘t know how anybody could do that to a family that has clearly given their lives to trying to find him. you definitely believe that there are some people still alive who know what happened and they should come forward ? what happened and they should come forward? yes, i do. i do believe that. definitely. at least one person. i am 100% sure of that. i am sure the police would say that as well. it has been one big cover—up to protect the man that had the accident in the first place. ijust

think if these people have got any ounce of humanity left in their bodies, they should let us know where he is. they could do it anonymously. they don‘t have to give their name. they could send an email to the police, even directed to myself. we just want to find where he is now. thank you very much. we really appreciate your time. thank you for talking to us on the programme today. thank you. kerry needham appealing for the one person who she believes has information to come forward and get in touch with the police and help them find ben. next on the programme, prince william reveals how he tells his children stories about their late grandmother, diana princess of wales. prince harry also speaks candidly about their relationship

with their mother. it is an an itv documentary that goes out tonight as they approach the 20th anniversary of diana‘s death. it includes moving tributes from sir eltonjohn and the princes speak of their regret that their last conversation with their mother was rushed phone call. a photograph of the two boys made public for the first time sums up the sense of fun described by prince william. two decades on from her death, prince william describes how he keeps diana‘s memory alive for his children. constantly talking about granny diana. we have photos around. it is hard because catherine didn‘t know her. she cannot really provide that level of detail. i regularly when i put george and charlotte to bed talk about her. i remind them that there were two grandmothers in their lives and it is important that they know who she

was and she existed. prince harry was and she existed. prince harry was 12 when his mother died. he reflects with one of her friends, self and john, about the work they did as committed aids activists. —— sir eltonjohn. did as committed aids activists. —— sir elton john. it was considered to bea sir elton john. it was considered to be a gay disease. was someone within the royalfamily, be a gay disease. was someone within the royal family, a be a gay disease. was someone within the royalfamily, a woman, straight, to have someone the royalfamily, a woman, straight, to have someone care the royalfamily, a woman, straight, to have someone care from the other side was an incredible gift. and you can see it as well. you look back to these days, when the reality was doom and gloom. the reality then was doom and gloom. the reality then was doom and gloom. the reality then was doom and gloom, yet everybody in that photograph is smiling. because of her. she had an energy, a radiance. look at her face in every photograph, there is a positive, wonderful glow. she had this incredible ability that he inherited from me, and i said thank you, to make them feel that everything would be all right. i haven‘t experienced

many people who had that ability. she could walk into a room of people and make them feel that everything was great. wow. the brothers recall the last time they spoke to her and they reflect on the overwhelming public reaction and how they coped with the week that culminated in her funeral. in the documentary, diana‘s children share their most intimate memories of her. this is quite a special picture. it is quite sweet. it is the first time that the two of us have ever spoken about her as a mother. believe it or not, you and i are both in this photograph. you are in hertummy. are both in this photograph. you are in her tummy. arguably a little bit to draw up until this point. it is still raw. —— little bit too raw. not many days go by that i don‘t think about her. the 20th anniversary seems like a good time to remember all the good things

about her and hopefully provide a different side to know that others have not seen before. we felt incredibly loved, harry and i. iam very grateful that the love still feels there. it was that love. even if she was on the other side of the room, as her son, you could feel it. our mother was a total paid through and through. when everybody says to me, she was fun, give us an example, all i can hear is her laughter in my head. that crazy laughter, just pure happiness showing on her face. one of her motto is to me was you can be as naughty as you want, just don't

get caught. she was one of the naughtiest parents. she would come and watch us play football and smuggle sweets into our socks. i remember walking back from the foot ball remember walking back from the football match and having five packets of starburst. that documentary is broadcast on itv and stv at nine o‘clock tonight. thank you for your emails about being gay and coming out, and the way people reacted. it is 50 years since the decriminalisation of two grown consenting men having sex, effectively. 50 yea rs consenting men having sex, effectively. 50 years this week. david said he moved from aldershot where he was not only out as gay but about his involvement with the international aids crisis. i was never assaulted in a military town. that was in margaret thatcher‘s

time. but having gone back into the closet in exeter so i could care for my elderly parents, i was attacked six times in the thirsty and the police didn‘t do. after several more police didn‘t do. after several more police constables, things are improving but i am still being hassled by so—called christians. now it is the politicians refusing to act. and this one, it is good to offer people the opportunity to comment anonymously but it is sad that people have got to. as a bisexual woman i have never experienced prejudice. maybe because it is taking the least seriously. most straight men find the notion titillating. i have been with the men and the amount of times i am askedif men and the amount of times i am asked if i bring other women home to him is ridiculous. monogamy is monogamy, no matter what happens between someone‘s legs. thank you for that, christina, and thank you for that, christina, and thank you for giving your name. tomorrow we hear from

for giving your name. tomorrow we hearfrom former for giving your name. tomorrow we hear from formerjehovah‘s witnesses who say they have been shunned by their community and their religion after leaving it. thank you for your company and have a good day. good morning. we have a split in the weather, east — west, and for many western areas it is fine and sunny. this was the scene in cornwall. lovely blue skies with fair weather cloud. but in eastern part, the weather front is bringing cloud. but in eastern part, the weatherfront is bringing more cloud. but in eastern part, the weather front is bringing more cloud to central and eastern areas. rain continuing for a time in his yorkshire and lincolnshire and some showers towards east anglia and the south—east. feeling fresh on the north sea coast. further west, we have got sunshine and temperatures getting into the low 20s. this evening, more showers to come across norfolk and suffolk but they finally clear away. tuesday is looking brighter across eastern areas. sunny
